Dire warnings in the cantata text of ‘Sie werden euch in den Bann tun’, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach: Jesus is trying to explain to his disciples that their lives will not always be easy. Bach supports these warnings with a strict canon; a composition method whereby the different voices follow one another very precisely. It is only in the last aria and final chorus that the way is cleared for faith.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on February 10th 2018 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
